Snowblock Posted September 26, 2013 Share #2151 Posted September 26, 2013 nah they usually don't suspend the during Plan 4 UNLESS the weather is severe. But I'm saying Plan 4 is going to be interesting because if they still have R160s on the they will store the unused ones on the 8th Avenue/CPW Express (Which has barely happened). Nothing gets stored on 8th Ave/CPW during Plan 4. The & uses the Fulton St express tracks, the extra tracks around Dyckman and Euclid, and Pitkin Yard (which is covered). The only gets suspended during Plan 5, but during Plan 4, the will run express in Manhattan. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R32 3838 Posted September 26, 2013 Share #2152 Posted September 26, 2013 (edited) Yea they might swap the R160 back to the this sunday, the assignment site updated, 1 R32 will remain on the like in late June, the assignment is for September 29th Edited September 26, 2013 by R32 3838 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VIP Posted September 27, 2013 Share #2153 Posted September 27, 2013 So its safe to assume that East New York will just maintain that 1 R32 set til next year? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fresh Pond Posted September 27, 2013 Share #2158 Posted September 27, 2013 Why would the get suspended during Blizzard conditons? It really wouldn't be needed if the is already local. Frees up the express tracks so other trains can be parked everywhere 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowblock Posted September 27, 2013 Share #2159 Posted September 27, 2013 I think Plan 5 (weather state of emergency declared) has only been enacted once since it was added to the Winter Plan (which was a result of the December 2010 blizzard). During Plan 5, service will run local between 207 and Euclid, and will be suspended. A lot of other crazy changes that would make all of you foam, such as the from 205 to 95 St, also occur. Note that even during Plan 5, the remaining trains get stored between 168 and 145 on A3&4, and CPW & 8th Ave are still left open, but the main idea in Plan 5 is to thin out service as much as possible in order to more easily manage the snowbirds, since by the time that plan is in effect, Bloomberg has already been all over the TV for hours telling everybody to GO HOME. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RollOver Posted September 29, 2013 Share #2163 Posted September 29, 2013 Anyway, hopefully by next summer or so all 372 R160A-1 cars would be done with their SMS by then. Another good thing is that the will still get very good A/C every summer from now onwards. Perhaps keeping it at 8 cars for the next 40+ years isn't a bad thing after all just in case East New York needs to borrow a train for temporary reasons (as we all saw this past summer). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snowblock Posted September 29, 2013 Share #2169 Posted September 29, 2013 R68 actually lol Well then we had both R68 and R68A. I got hit pretty hard at 81 and 72 on my trip tonight. At least MoW had the foresight to take a break when the concert ended so that we wouldn't further be delayed by track gangs. What concert was it, btw? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MHV9218 Posted September 29, 2013 Share #2170 Posted September 29, 2013 Global Citizen...Stevie Wonder, Alicia Keys, Kings of Leon, lots of big names. Surprised that the C would get R68s and R68As on a weekend as opposed to just the odd R46... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surprised that the C would get R68s and R68As on a weekend as opposed to just the odd R46... Well no B's running, so I guess a free set to pick since it isn't doing anything. I'd like to catch one, but never remember these concerts nor care for them lol. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well next year they're doing this swap again, it worked out well due to the J line itself, but don't hold your breath because once pitkin's R46s get SMS'ed they'll probably be a set or two on the 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PATCOman Posted September 29, 2013 Share #2174 Posted September 29, 2013 The R68 and 68A Cs were trains that usually run on the B from Concourse Yard. It was used as a concert special (similar to a baseball special). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
